My sister and I had a lovely time (5 nights) at Al Boccalino! The hosts were wonderful, friendly and helpful. The room was comfortable and the building was extremely clean. The breakfast in the old wine cellar was an amazing start to our day!!! The location is quiet and within walking distance of Lake Lugano, the Swissminiatur open air museum, and all needed amenities such as a grocery store, bus stop, restaurants, bank, and the train station. We enjoyed the chewy candies on the desk as we headed in or out! 😁

We were totally satisfied!

We had a lovely 2-night stay. Location of little town of Melide and the property is very good. Melide is in the middle between beautiful Morcote village and Lugano. We had a car but you can also get around without a car. The owners give you Ticino pass for free public transport. In the evening we would go to Lugano by train. Station is about 9 minutes walk from the property and then it is only 1-2 stops to Lugano (depending where in Lugano you are going). Also there is a bus to Morcote. Property is literally 2-3 minutes walk from the lake where there is a little beach and also a Lido nearby. We also got free room upgrade and had a room with a balcony and lake view. Room was spacious, modern and comfortable. Website states there is no aircon but actually there was some sort of aircon which can cool down the room but we only used it during the day and switched off at night as it was noisy. But there is also a fan, and nights were not hot even it was very hot during the day. Owners are very nice people, explained is everything. B&B is very quiet. Situated on a quiet side street with no traffic. You can eat breakfast outside when the weather is nice. We liked Melide as it is much quieter than Lugano and feels more like a village.

Not really a dislike but breakfast was only cold. Variety was ok for a B&B but average. Definitely better than usual Italian breakfast. Was fine for 2 days, but if we would stay longer we would prefer something warm and greater variety.

We stayed here for one night on our drive home. B&B near the highway and the lake with delicious and extensive breakfast. Beautiful and spacious rooms that are neat and well equipped. Good price-quality. Very friendly and kind owners that speak multiple languages.

Not a lot of parking space but the owners are very willing to make some space for your car if necessary.

Good location in a charming little seaside town. I can imagine it would be great for families or couples with a car to discover the beautiful surroundings. Good breakfast. Friendly innkeepers.

Tiny details could be improved: instead of individual sachets for the shower gel, a refillable shower gel dispenser could save plastic waste. The breakfast was good but I was missing some fresh veggies to go with the good bread and cheese.

We were there for just one night but loved our stay. The hosts Dora and Walter are wonderful. The evening we arrived there everything was closed because of a bank holiday. Walter drove my husband to pick up pizza from a place close by. Next day he helped us with getting our luggage to the station. Breakfast buffet was exceptional. Both of them love what they do. There kindness and compassion will always be remembered by us. Thanks so much!

The hosts are very welcoming, friendly and helpful. They give valuable tips on how to explore the area - just ask. The stay included a Ticino Ticket, which allows free use of public transport in the region - we really enjoyed this and left our car at the hotel.

Everything was so amazing. Both owners were exceptional, very kind and helpful. They went beyond with advising us and explaining how to get around and what to do. Their pension is a magical place, amazing views, surroundings, beautiful place to stay. Thank you again

Dora and Walter were wonderful hosts. They both gave us ideas for how to spend our day. We were there to take a break from traveling on the trains and Dora’s suggestions to walk along the lake and take a short bus ride to Marcote were perfect. The room was by far the largest of our 3 week trip, with a sitting room and balcony with a view of the lake.

Great overnight stop from Italy to France. Close to the A2. We had a large room and they welcomed our dog. Lovely breakfast. They also saved us a parking spot on the road outside as we had a ton of luggage in the car overnight. Lovely walk along the lake.
